One of the most anticipated match-ups in the AUBL ends in a draw. The South Florida Pirates send out Brian Nentwig to face the undefeated D-Backs and receieve an early taste of power in the first inning, as Anthony Boza would come up with a line drive 2 out single. Bringing up the mighty Danny Rams, one pitch was all that was needed as Rams blasted a colossal Two-Run Homerun over the Center Field fence. Unbelieving, Rams would have struck a cloud causing the rain to pour out of the skies during his trot bringing in the 30 min rain delay. Resuming play, Nentwig would get out of the inning allowing 2 runs on what the D-Backs were all able to produce on Sunday. Mathew Chitwood would made his AUBL start for the D-Backs fanning 7 batters on 4 innings pitched and 1 Earned Run. Giving the D-Backs the 2-1 lead in the 5th, Anthony Rodriguez would then be summoned making also his AUBL debut on the mound allowing only 1 Earned run on 2 and 2/3 innings pitched while striking out 4. Pitching changes bringing in Sean Emory for the pirates and Eric Berkowitz for the D-Backs, making it difficult for both offenses to gather any momentum upto the end of regulation play. Game would end on 2-2 draw, making the most anticipated match-up yet again a game not to be missed.
